Sisters who are Fully Professed Sisters in the order

Sister Metro arrived in Seattle in 2004 on the back of a Kosher apple truck. Armed with only a piercing sceptic glare and a nose for charlatans and snake-oil salesmen, this fresh, rosy-cheeked nun soon found her way on Capitol Hill, arriving at the Abbey of St. Joan in mid-2009. At first charming and congenial, then wise and…ummm…penetrating, she soon became part of the Abbey, ministering to the LGBT and Latino communities with quiet charm and humor.
A denizen of exotic locales that serve strong drinks, hot men, and good conversation, she’ll switch from biting humor and ribaldry to patient kindness, indulging her flock’s need for a kind word or simply an attentive and non-judgmental ear. Partial to Otters, Capybaras, and Crows, but kind to all our Mother’s creatures, she’ll be sure to share a good story with a mischievous glint in her eye and spread Sister magic wherever she goes.
Note: Sister Metro has decided to take a temporary sabbatical till February 2025
Beware, this formula has been known to enchant and embrace all walks of life. She may just cast a spell on YOU.

Sister Bertha was originally dubbed “Saint Queen Bitch” when the Abbey of St. Joan was first formed, she later heeded her calling to become a Sister. Currently on hiatus, she still makes her presence felt with timely advice and support for the house’s activities.
Tonight we have Sister Bebe Jeebus of the not-so-Immaculate Manger. Some people think she was born in a barn. Pffft
In the center of the room is the manger, the queen sized manger of love.
In the corner are the beautiful things that represent Bebe.
Glitter, for shining the golden ray of the sun even in the dark.

I started my journey with The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence in 2007 as many do – seeing the good work they do, the joy and positive energy they spread, and all the wonderful progressive non-profits they raise funds for.
It did not take me long to see how significant, deep, and profound the impact the Sisters have on the community. There really is ‘magic in the mask’ that is our tradition of wearing whiteface. It seems it both allows the public to interact with us in a way that is far more familiar, personal, and intimate than if we were just out as our secular-selves.
The stories, trials, successes, and tribulations people have shared with me have transformed how I look at myself, our community, and the work we do. People just cannot get enough of being loved on and adored – that is a big part of what I try to do as a Sister. It seems no matter how much I give out it comes back to me tenfold. If only we could all be more giving to each other, imagine the impact it would have!
Love and blessings, Sister Anna Waywego
